Lindley Group wins contract with Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC

The Lindley Group has scored another Scottish football contract win, to provide catering services for Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC fans.

The £600,000 deal with ICTFC increases Lindley’s presence in Scotland, as the firm already manages the catering for seven other Scottish clubs including Celtic, Hibernian and Dundee United.

Darren MacKintosh, commercial manager of ICTFC, said: "Lindley Group’s vast experience within football catering has the potential to benefit us significantly, and we look forward to their expertise delivering a high standard of service both on match days and at other events at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.”

Under the terms of the 5½-year deal, Lindley will be responsible for developing the match day catering at the club’s six kiosks and bars at the Stadium.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle will continue to manage the corporate hospitality separately.

Lindley will provide a part-time manager at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium who will manage 20 part-time casual staff.

According to figures published by Lindley, last season (2008/2009) the group increased revenue returned to clubs by an average of 12.5%, with some clubs achieving increases as high as 21% and 22%.
